4482 2019: OPEN CALL for artists

Exhibition: The Other side of the Moon

4482 is a multi-functional platform which exists to promote, integrate and celebrate new Korean Contemporary Art within the United Kingdom. The name was derived when it first began in 2007, the numbers being the combined country codes of South Korea and the UK to symbolise connection and communication between the two countries. 4482 was started organically by ten Korean artists who wanted to create an opportunity for themselves by opening a group show in London.

For our upcoming exhibition in April 2019, we will return with a curated show under the title ‘The Other Side of the Moon’, which will showcase exciting artworks of around 40 artists who are linked with both the U.K. and Korea, with special collaboration with Soohoh Gallery and Itta Space in South Korea.

Our world is filled with parallel matters whose values are often created by comparison and contradiction. Your fortune might be related to someone else’s misfortune. Wealth and poverty can co-exist within a society, yet the two are distant from each other. We often find comfort and/or despair within our own juxtaposed world. The other side of our world gets dismissed perhaps too often by ourselves, like the flip side of the coin and the darker side of the Moon. The Other Side of the Moon invites artists with both Korean and UK connections to investigate such contradictions and juxtapositions, the familiar and/or alien aspects of our world through their thought-provoking artworks.
